I Never Cared for You (Live At The Franklin Theatre, Franklin, TN/2016) - Alison Krauss

Don't sigh a sigh for me Don't ever cry for me This is goodbye for me I know we're through I'm losing you Love sang it's song for me Then things went wrong for me Nights are too long for me Because I'm loosing you Our love and our devotion Were deep as any ocean Then one day like the tide you began to change And you became a perfect stranger Someone is holding you Sharing the lips I knew I can't believe it's true That I am loosing you I can't believe it's true That I am loosing you

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools For five long years I thought you were my man But I found out I'm just a link in your chain You got me where you want me I ain't nothin' but your fool Ya treated me mean Oh you treated me cruel Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools Every chain, has got a weak link I might be weak yeah But I'll give you strength Oh, hey You told me to leave you alone My father said, "Come on home" My doctor said, "Take it easy" Oh but your lovin' is much too strong I'm added to your Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chai-i-in (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools One of these mornings The chain is gonna break But up until the day I'm gonna take all I can take, oh hey Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chai-i-in (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools Chain, chain, chai-i-in Chain, chain, chain Chain, chain, chai-i-in Chain of fools

Looking out on the morning rain, thank you I used to feel so uninspired And when I knew I had to face another day Lord, it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you, life was so unkind But you're the key to my peace of mind Because you make me feel, you make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman) When my soul was in the lost-and-found (hey) You came along to claim it Well I didn't know, I didn't know what was wrong with me Until your kiss helped me name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for And if I make you happy, I really don't need to do more Because you make me feel, you make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman) Oh, baby, what you've done to me (what you've done to me) You make me feel so good inside (good inside) And I, and I just wanna be (wanna be) I wanna get back to you You make me feel so, so alive (You make me feel) you make me feel (You make me feel) you make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman) You really, really make me feel, you make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman (woman) Do you believe you make me feel? (Yeah) You really, really make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman

The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops searchin' for a place to fall And I never cared for you I know you won't believe these things I tell you I know, you won't believe Your heart has been forewarned, all men will lie to you And your mind cannot conceive Now all depends on what I say to you I know you're doubting me So I've prepared these statements far from true Take heed, disbelieve The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all The sky was never blue Stars are raindrops searchin' for a place to fall And I never cared for you The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops searchin' for a place to fall And I never cared for you And I never cared for you And I never cared for you

The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops, searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you Oh, I know you won't believe these things I tell you I know you won't believe Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you And your mind cannot conceive Now all depends on what I say to you And on your doubting me So I've prepared these statements, far from true Pain and disbelief The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops, searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all And the sky was never blue The stars are raindrops, searching for a place to fall And I never cared for you And I never cared for you And I never cared for you

I hear it started to get good in there Yes, it did (lifting) We had that a rocking thing You're a no good heart breaker A liar and a cheater And I don't know why I let you do these things to me My friends keep telling me That you ain't no good But oh, they don't know I'd leave you if I could I guess I'm uptight And I'm stuck like glue 'Cause I ain't never Never, never, no, no (loved a man) The way that I, I love you Some time ago I thought you had run out of fools Oh but I was so wrong You got one that you'll never lose The way you treat me You do me so bad I bet that you don't know That I'm the best thing you ever ever had So kiss me once again And don't ever see we're through 'Cause I ain't never Never, never, no, no loved a man The way that I, I love you I can't sleep at night And I can't eat a bite I guess I'll never be free Since you got, your hooks, in me Whoa, oh, oh, whoo whoo whoo Maybe someday real soon And it won't be long You gonna wake up And find that your baby's gone But if you ever want a call Hey cut off your telephone And oh, you can't battle baby That I come and roll at home So you know how it is And you know just how I feel Say I ain't never Never, never, no, no loved a man The way that I, I love you Ah-ah I say I ain't never Never, never, no, no... I ain't never love the man the way that I love you

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition I came here to sink or swim And to show them all that they were wrong And though I never thought I'd make it this far So the curtains are down For the moment I'm someone There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way Now they're gone But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are And when I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Where have you been My long lost friend It's good to see you again Come and sit for a while I've missed your smile Today the past is goodbye Time can't erase A lover's embrace Can't you hear it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find Love's taken you far Away from my heart And I've been here all along Have your eyes failed to find What took you from mine A vision that's faded through time But you sail away Far on a summer's day But you heard it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations Lying above the rest, never falling from the nest Tuesday came and went and now I'm in a little situation Maybe it's for the best, I can live alone I guess Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation I'm numb from all my doubt, trying to sort the whole thing out Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information Spinning inside my head, every word he ever said Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home (Repeat chorus)

We lease 20 acres And one Ginny mule From the Alabama Trust For half of the cotton and a third of the corn Get a hand full of dust We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why I had a daughter Called her Annabelle She's the apple of my eye Tried to give her something like I never had Didn't want to ever hear her cry We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears From every day I've ever known Anna's in the churchyard She got no life at all She only got these words on a stone We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why

Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine Little one, when you play Don't you mind what they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine All of those people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine Baby of mine
